Kill All Normies: Online Culture Wars from 4chan and Tumblr to Trump and the Alt-Right is a 2017 book by columnist Angela Nagle published by Zero Books. It focuses on the development of internet culture, the nature of political correctness, the far-right and the election of Donald Trump.[1][2] Nagle offers a left-wing critique of contemporary liberalism and its role in the creation of the alt-right movement in reaction.

Synopsis

Nagle presents her work as an attempt to map the online culture wars that occurred in the early 2010s and how it resulted in the development of Alt-Right which played a major role in the election of Donald Trump. Nagle introduces the 2010s as a period in which "cyber utopianism" began to reemerge popularity with the rise of internet-based social activism such as the Arab Spring, Occupy movement, Wikileaks, adbusters, and Anonymous which were based on decentralized leadership and online organization. This internet based activism was immediately embraced by the factions of the mainstream liberalism without properly appraising the limitations and organizational structure of the movements, which all resulted in consistent failure and the collapse of the movements. Many of these movements began on the medium of image-based forums primarily 4chan and 8chan, which were organized on focus on anonymity which formed a subculture among the users of these websites that embraced extremely transgressive and dark humor with a deeply misogynistic and racist subculture.

In the second chapter, titled "The Online Politics of Transgression", Nagle observes how political transgression historically is associated with the political Left, specifically that of the New Left which was adopted by the Alt-Right. Nagle frames this adoption of transgression by the political right, in relation to the concept of moral transgression which can be traced to the eighteenth century figures of Marquis De Sade, The Surrealists, Friedrich Nietzsche, Punk subculture, and contemporaneously in the 1990s 'male rampage films' like American Psycho and Fight Club. This 'transgressive anti-moral style' of the Alt-Right, according to Nagle, is their attempt to completely break away from the egalitarian philosophy of the Left and the Christian morality of the Right.

In chapter three, "Gramscians of the Alt-Lite", Nagle focuses on the popularity of the French New Right within the circles of the Alt-Right.

Publication and reception

Kill All Normies received polarizing reception from critics and columnists with Vice,[3] New York ,[4][5] The New Republic,[6] and Vox[7] publishing positive reviews of the book, whereas outlets such as The Daily Beast, Libcom, CounterPunch, and The New Socialist criticized Nagle's description of campus activism.[8] A review of the book at The Daily Beast said the book was plagued by "sloppy sourcing".[9]

Columnist Ross Douthat of the New York Times praised Nagle's "portrait of the online cultural war",[10] and the Times columnist Michelle Goldberg said that Kill All Normies had "captured this phenomenon".[11] Novelist George Saunders listed Kill All Normies as one of his ten favorite books.[12]

An episode of the Fusion Networks' TV series Trumpland directed by Leighton Woodhouse was based on book.[13] A Spanish edition was published in May 2018 by Orciny Press,[14] and a German edition in September, 2018 by Transcript.[15]

Controversy

{{Undue weight|section|date=November 2018}}

Nagle's book has been the subject of controversy surrounding the validity of its research, allegations of plagiarism, accuracy of its sources, and Nagle's critical appraisal of political correctness and identity politics.

Allegations that parts of the book had been plagiarized were first made on the left-wing website Libcom.{{refn|name=Davis}}[16]{{unreliable source?|date=November 2018}} The article notes the similarity of a passage in Kill All Normies describing Alexander Dugin and the French New Right which had strong similarities to the Wikipedia article on Dugin. Libcom further questions Nagle's claims in regard to "campus panic", "cultural appropriation", "tumblr liberalism", and trigger warnings. In Chapter Five, Nagle alleges that on the blogging website Tumblr, there were an absurd number of gender options, which are listed out in length. Nagle does not provide any citations for this allegation.[17]{{unreliable source?|date=November 2018}}[18] Nagle and her publisher both rejected the accusations.[19][20]
